The goveroor-rlect held a conference with
the present Incumbent in tho office of Oav
ernor Savage laat night, and the program
for the ceremonies with which the chungo
In the executive office in accompanied waa
arranged. Governor Mickey ..expressed his
pleasure with the plans as arrangod. There

line, with the military staff of Governor
Bavago In full dress uniform.
After the conclusion of the inaugural
ceremonies the executive mansion will be

liest practicable moment.
Oiatrlbuttou of l.rxUlatlv Plains.
The distribution of the big plums In the
gift of the houke of representatives seems
to have been aettled, according to gossip.
A rumor la current that John Wall of Ar
cadia will have no opposition In hta can
didacy for the position of chief clerk of
the house. It la claimed also by the
friends of C. H. Barnhard of Table Rock
that be will get the assistant clerkship
without a contest. Mr. Barnhard was Jour
nal clerk two years ago and gave geaeral
satisfaction jn that capacity, while Mr.
Wall waa the chief clerk.
George L. Slmpkins, deputy game and
Beh commissioner, has applied to Governor
Mickey for reappointment to the position
and haa many endorsements for the place.
Among his more prominent supporters are
Senator Dietrich; D. E. Thompson, Con
gressman Uurkett and G. VV. Holdredge,
general manager of the B. & M. His only
opponent Is Harry McConnell of Albion,
who Is hla deputy at present.
Holiday Trade Ciood.
Local merchants are well satisfied with
the holiday trade. Kor the last three days
the larger atorea have been thronged with
shopper, seeking Christmas gifts. The de
partment atorea of the city have been at
times so rushed that It was an Impossi
bility to cope with the crowds. One no
ticeable thing about the Christmas buying
this year has been the demand for high
grade gocda and wares. The furniture
stores especially have mot with a better
class of trade tbau in former years. The
main object with the average shopper this
year aeema to be quality ra'.ber than
cheapness.
Another advantageous factor In the
Christmas trade Is the seasonable weather
which haa prevailed during the last few
days. Thla haa aid 'd greatly in movlnj tho
atocka of winter goods which the mer
chants bad on handa. The heavy Christ
mas buying will undoubtedly clarify the
local credit situatlcn to a, considerable ex
tent by increasing deposits and liquidation
of short-time loans.
Parol for Itnabvlile Man.
Governor Savage has granted a pardon to
Lloyd Cardwell, sentenced to ten yeara In
the. penitentiary for criminal assault from
Rushvllle, Sheridan county. Cardwell, ac
companied "by his wife, left yesterday for

had only been married a shcrt time when
he waa arrested for aseaultlng a young
woman whom he waa taking to hla home to
nurse his alrk wife. At tho trial an effort
aa made to break down tho character of
the young woman and one of the witnesses
ho testified against her waa later sent to
the penitentiary for perjury.
Ln Short Man Basy.
The long and short man are again get
ting busy In Lincoln and as a consequence
the police are also do.ag much scouting
around. H Hickman was held up at the
point cf a revolver, near Tenth and O
street, and lost $2 by the transaction. W.
H.. Gerhart stood for a holdup and Is out
a gold watch and 12. These two men had
been making Christmas purchases. Both
aald a long and a short man did the work.
Someone else touched W. B. Price for a
geld watch as he was going through the
crowd In the Burlington station.
Girl TfaanUa Governor.
A. E. Lawrence, whose release was se
cured from the penitentiary because of a
pathetic letter written to Governor Savage
by Lawrence's daughter, left the state
prison this morning and has gone to Nor
folk, his home. This pardon seemed to
have ir.et with general approval and the
governor has received several letters com
mending him for the act. This morning he
received a picture of the little girl, as a
Christmas present, accompanying which
was a letter of thanks.

(From a BtafT Correspondent.)
LINCOLN. Dee. 24. (Special Telegram.)
By a blunder on the part of Governor Rav
age. Rev. Rowland P. Hills is still a con
vict. Intending to make the bigamist
preacher a Christmas prtsent of a commu
tation of sentence, the governor Juggled
the records and, Instead of accomplishing
his purpose, only succeeded In taking six
months and two days from the original
sentence.
The records show that even with this
much taken from the sentence, the min
ister will not be a free man' until April
29. 1904.
By the following letter, which the war
den of the penitentiary sent to Rev. Hills,
he explains the time the latter has to
serve:
Letter from Warden.
Dr. Rowland P. Hills, Blair, Neb.: Dear
Sir There appears to be some misunder
standing regarding your sentence and It
commutation and I hasten to Inform you
of the facts, so that you may govern your-
wii accorain.iy.
You were sentenced October 13, 1900, to
four years in the penitentiary. You secured
an order from- the supreme court suspend
ing the eenten'-e. On the 29th of July,
19ijI, the-supreme court affirmed the sen
tence and ordered Its execution.
Therefore your sentence dates from July
29. imoi, under the holding of Hon. Frank
Prout, attorney general of this state. A
four-year sefhence credits you with eleven
months' good time, bo your "good time"
sentence would expire August 29. 194.
Now his excellency, Hon. Ezra P. Savage,
has commuted your four-year sentence to
three years, five months and twenty-eight
days, thus cutting off six months and two
days from the original sentence of four
years.
This commuted sentence (practically
three years and six months), also carries
with it a good time allowance of nine
months. The goo.l time sentence, there
fore, with the commutation, will entitle
you to a discharge on April 29, 1904, being
two years and nine months from the 29th
of July, 1901.
Governor Savage Intended to pardon Rev.
Hills. To a reporter for The Bee he said
last night: "1 commuted Mr. Hills' sen
tence ao that he would be a free man by
Christmas. He only had three more days
to serve."
, After giving orders In regard to the let
ter to be sent Mr. Hills, Governor Savago
ordered the employe at the penitentiary
to keep the matter from the public as much
as possible, as he did not want hla mistake
aired.
Even after the letter had been sent by
the warden. Governor Savage said that he
had commuted his sentence In order that
he might be at home Christmas. The gov
ernor thought Hills' time would be out In
six months and two days. Since August
11 Hills has been out on parole.
Clerk Makes Mistake.
In an Interview this afternoon in re
gard to the mistake made In the papers
commuting the sentence of August Hills,
Governor Savage said It was his Intention
to free the man. "It la his misfortune
that a mistake was made, for he will have
to stand by the record. The first I knew
of any Intimation that there had been a
mistake made was when the warden of'
the penitentiary -told me about it and
asked for instructions. I told him to atand
by his written orders. The clerks In the
office, paid by the state, are supposed to
have charge of such papers and keep them
correct. I haven't the time to look over
them. When a paper comej to me marked
'O. K.' I Judge It is all right and go
ahead. Mr. Clancv has the nanrn in thi I
case locked up and when he returna I
shall ask hiin to explain. But of course
the people will" blame mo for It," con
cluded the governor.
The records at the governor's office
show that Hills was committed to the
penitentiary October. 13, 1900, and the com
mitment shows that hla time would ex
pire November 13. after making allowance
Tor good time. By the governor's records
the time of his discharge would bo June
11. 1003, a date different from tho record
kept by the warden.
